I'm still waiting for my YouGov payout, I cashed out earlier in the month so they make you wait!

I've just got £20 from TCB but £5 was taken for the annual thing.

And....my EE TCB has been upped to £125, it was £75 - so that's a bonus.

Had a bit of a break from surveys but am going to start some up again next week!

They tend to be quite good being honest Louby re payout i think my last one i had the 50 in about 10-12 days. The worst for payout are uktoluna/populus live from experience.

I need another 15p on opinium research make sure you sign up to that one louby it pays out at 25pounds and the surveys are usually 25p,50,75p and you tend to get 5-6 surveys a week and it has an exceeding low kick out rate.

I am in a similar boat they jumped my EE cashback from 30 to 50 quid happy days, i also got a friend to sign up to topcashback.co.uk and as she has now bought three to four things through it i am 15 quid nearly richer.

My bank account would be quite well off if everything i had in top cashback just suddenly dropped

pending £72.72
confirmed £143.32

Well its happy days for me day thursday is payday :-) i am working the next 4 nights so bar transport to work as my travel card has ran out i am determine i am gunna have 2-3 nsd's.

7 days are left in the month so i am determined to have some nsd days.

Good news is ontop of my pay i have 75 due in off opinium research and ugov that will be a nice pay boost. I am going to chat with step change and once they have arrived and see if i can pay a bit extra off debt.

Well thats me paid and a lot lot richer i wish i could be paid this every month take home pay this month 1720 plus i have 75 pound waiting to arrive from surveys.

This month is still tight ish as i want to get 300 paid off my debts, my rent is also a tad higher than normal as i have an extra 120 to pay this month to my landlord for the furniture the previous tennant left. And i have a few things extra thsn normal to pay.

£100 to the ex Lf

£50 to my ex partner

£77pound water bill which they are hassling me for now even though its upto end of march and we are in february still.

£120 odd council tax bill

£20-40 quid on nicer bedding and a thicker duvet.

£28 for my broadband (usually 20quid but extra for box delivery)

£700 to the stud dog owner me and the ex used last year.

And i have a small electric bill to pay 12 quid and some pennies. I have switched my electric too the co-op which is one of the cheapest on the market per kwh. 14 quid is on the gas metre so i wont freeze in here which is the only down side of my new place it gets very cold very quickly partly as the downstairs flats are vacant.

My Csa is paid and a few other bills like now tv and my rent, i owe my landlord 520 and so far he is richer 500 i am hoping he doesnt mind waiting till next month for the other 20.

It's so hard when you move isn't it with all the extra costs.

Still no payout from YouGov which is quite strange. I'm only doing the surveys that payout a decent amount and you don't get kicked out of. I'll look up Opinium research

I have watched that mtv unplugged way way too many times. And i dont know if there your flavour of vodka but Alice in Chain's mtv unplugged is unreal too. Scott and Laney Staley are two big big losses.

I will post again later on tomorrow thank you everyone who has commented on my new journal so far your awesome guys.

dont worry it comes the money from a uk government department lol you wont have long to wait 2 weeks max i have had 3 payouts from yougov over the years they dont hang about.

Finances are coming on well but very very slow, just done a cccs payment and i have dropped my dmp down too 16349.99 its only a 162 drop for this month but several things to bear in mind.

1) I am still trying to gauge all the bills on my new place

2) I am waiting on surveys payouts coming in so i would rather just wait till they hit then i will make an extra payment.

3) I have train tickets to buy this month to see my lad in kent which will cost me an arm and a leg.
I am waiting on the ex getting back to me with dates i can see me boy at easter which is 31st/march till 18th april. Last time i checked prices it was 250-300 quid.

Wow - that's a lot for the train! Is there a more economical way to travel? Bus? Hire a car? Or something like http://carshare.liftshare.com/ where you can share a car journey?

Hopefully you'll find a cheaper way and save some cash.

Scott_Weiland_2

It is but i live in Co Durham so i have to travel down from Durham too London, then across on hs1 from St Pancras down to Rochester then once i pick my son up its straight back again i do the journey in reverse. I also have to repeat the journey once the school hols are finished.

I will give that site a look it may be an option.

I don't currently drive so at the moment thats not an option leasons are ongoing.

I used to use megabus but by the time i spent 6 to 7 hours on a bus then another say hour to 90 mins getting to Rochester from Victoria before even bringing my boy home it made for a long long day.

I use topcashback.co.uk to buy the tickets, and my nectar carc is linked with the virgin east coast account and i buy the tickets as earlier as i can with my C.C.

I will be honest its more expensive since virgin took over the franchise about 25-50 pound more but in 2018 it should be faster by 30mins to an hour as the Azuma trains are mean to be faster.

JoJoC

Wow - that's quite some journey! Fingers crossed you can shave some cost off/ have some cashback to make it a bit easier on you. It's such a shame that you have to spend so much just to see your little boy, but hopefully it's worth the expense and the wait

Scott_Weiland_2

yeah it is but until i can drive i cant shave anything off it.

My boy is 14 but i dont trust him travelling across london and my ex wont even bring him to kings cross.

true re the cash back every little helps etc i think the last 2 times i bought tickets i got 7-8 pounds cashback.

re my today i have had a minor spend day the aim is this month to get at least 10-15:nsd's

today home bargains came calling i spend all of £3.80

1.20 on milk powder for work ie coffee whitener

69p on some sweet chilli sauce to spice up my chicken sweet potato and kale work lunches

1.15 multi vit supplement

66p egg noodles.

Plus points today i received 5 pounds via cheque from the tyne and wear metro sevice for a delayed train home last month :-)

Cash back received yestersay 55p from ziffit.
